This Privacy Policy outlines the information W.B. Mason will collect and how we will use that information. This Policy will also instruct you on what to do if you do not want your personal information collected or shared.

2. Personally-Identifiable InformationWhat information we may collect
W.B. Mason may ask you for personally-identifiable information such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, fax number and email address.

Use and disclose that information to third parties to the extent necessary to provide you with products or services you have requested;

Use that information to contact you for informational, marketing and promotional purposes;

Share that information with selected third parties who provide products and services which we believe may interest you;

Disclose that information to third parties when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) W.B. Mason's rights or property, other members or users of the Web Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities;

Disclose that information to third parties when we believe in good faith that the law requires it; and

Mason will not collect any such information about you unless you provide it to us voluntarily. W.B. Mason may share this information with advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third parties. For example, W.B. Mason may inform a sponsor that the membership of the Web Site is x percent females and y percent males. This data would be used to customize the Web Site's content and advertising, and to deliver a better experience for our members and users.

We may keep track of what pages are visited on our web site so we can monitor the performance and usage of our web site. Also, we may pay attention to what visitors do and do not use on our web site in order to assess the effectiveness of our web site and modify our content or design appropriately. We may use a third-party service provider to collect, aggregate and report this information to us. W.B. Mason may use this information to analyze and enhance the Web Site, and may aggregate this information and share such aggregated information with sponsors and other third parties.

9. Security
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online --- for example, via message boards or chat --- that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While W.B. Mason strives to protect your information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online and you do so at your own risk. The importance of security for all personally-identifiable information associated with our users and members is of utmost concern to us. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personally-identifiable information, W.B. Mason can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your personally-identifiable information, we will take reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Your account on the Web Site is password protected. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. W.B. Mason will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or email. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information. Remember to sign out of your account on the Web Site and close your browser window when you have finished. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if your computer is accessible to others or if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet café.
